Extra songs in Jam Sessions

Best Buy has the same deal for Jam Sessions as they (and other
retailers) have on some CDs: extra songs. Which is kinda weird for a
video game; how pissed would you be if Guitar Hero 2 had special songs
you could only play if you bought it from Best Buy (or, god forbid, Gamestop)?

However,
for Jam Sessions, the extra songs manifest in the form of a little sticker on the
front, not unlike the "Redeem me now!" coupons I've seen on loaves of bread
and other groceries. How does this work? Hilariously, you unlock the songs by entering a code in Free Play mode with the directional pad.

For
bonus hilarity, what exactly is that code? If you're a gamer, you can
guess it. It's even the code you might enter aimlessly in a moment of
boredom. (It does nothing on the title screen of Ouendan, trust me.)

Yes, indeed, it's the good ol' Konami Code, ↑↑↓↓←→←→. (Which you might know if you'd searched for it, but since I picked up my copy just now from an actual Best Buy, I had the joy of discovering it serendipitously.)

Surely
it works on copies you buy from elsewhere besides Best Buy. Let me know
if you bought the game somewhere else and it does.

Comments

Konami has had a lasting influence on gamers like Neill who work at Ubisoft. (Not to say that he had anything to do with that on Jam Sessions but I know he at least wrote a Gradius clone and had it snuck into a debug build of Love Triangle Dating Challenge - activated via the Konami code.)

Doesn't seem like a smart way to get people to buy it from Best Buy. People post codes like this all the time on the internet for everyone to use. But whatever, I'm not gonna complain about the extra songs. :P
